was surrcntitiou>iy conveyed 20 the baron
he refused 90 accept any but "a legal release.
NJ. Graof, secretary Of III. Grevy, succeeded
in obtaining am iuserview with the baron.
Immediately after that the whole press Of
Paris made am onslaught ON the lunacy law
of lS3>.
Tie baron was frequently subjected To the
infections az morphine, forced % mhalc gas,
and ina many ways reduced in health, both
physical and mental. 10 Is his belief that If
Inc bad not been released be would have been
murdered within the walls Of his prison.
An eminent French physician, DR.. Col
lincau. wrote ma 1870;
.Insane asylums are infeInos at whose
portals all who enter must leave hope behind
They are establishments for the production
of incurable madness. Imprisonment within
their walls becomes a systematic torture.
Absolute arbitrary power without check or
bounds prevails in those establishments
They are under the rule Of clandestne IRE
s"ponsibiity and organized despotsm. These
asvlums are Oubliettes. The first conner
armed with a certificate from the first doctor
whom he meets may cause any citizen TO be
flung into a madhouse without the least
process OF law"
The baron's case also demonstrates the
falibllity, bigotry and general pumpkin
medicines Of the specialists IN mental
diseases. or a%lienists, as they prefer to call
themselves. In eminence and presumable
ability the ~alienists Of France exceed those Of
any other country. Yet they passed Judg-

and while he was saturated with opium. And
in spite Of all evidence to the contrary, they
one and all insist that the baron was insane
De Seiliere came here soon after his arri-

OF remaining through the season. He does
